Dsp Floating Point Resources

New digital signal processing (DSP) systems use floating-point solutions to achieve a high degree of numeric stability and dynamic range. Applications such as radar, advanced wireless antenna processing, and medical imaging are some examples that require floating-point capabilities in FPGAs. As FPGAs grow in size and capability, they are becoming the highest performing platform available for any type of floating-point DSP implementation.

Design Reference Papers and Webcasts

Read an assessment of Altera's floating-point solution by BDTi, an independent technology analysis firm. The assessment includes a matrix inversion floating-point design example and highlights the performance results and usability of the floating-point tool flow.

With our new floating-point design flow, you can now easily implement floating-point DSP on Altera® FPGAs. This webcast gives an overview of how our design flow overcomes the challenges of floating-point implementation.

This seminar features a STAP pulsed Doppler Radar simulation using back-end FPGA implementation, which includes a model of a radar system environment, optimized implementation of STAP back-end processing, and FPGA implementation.
